Yu State had two holy lands and three saints.
Zhisheng Cliffs had two saints, Saint Zhi and Flame Saint. In Yu State, Zhisheng Cliffs was undoubtedly the number one holy land.
Even so, among the nine states, Yu State, the Barren State, and the Ocean State located in the Endless Ocean were the three weakest states. The Summer State, Qi State, War State, and Cloud State were stronger.
As such, Zhisheng Cliffs of Yu State had long set their sights on the Barren State, a place without saints. If they could conquer the Barren State and take the lineage of the Sage Hall and the divine implement of the Holy Zhi Palace, then select the most outstanding people from the Barren State to be groomed in the holy land. In time, Zhisheng Cliffs would definitely become stronger.
The battle outside the Holy Zhi Palace had taken place under such circumstances. While it had started because of the grudge between Zhan Xiao and Gu Dongliu, the will of Zhisheng Cliffs' Saint Zhi had appeared in the battle. It was clear that Saint Zhi had been behind it. However, the Palace Lord and Deputy Palace Lord Liu Chan had sacrificed themselves to invite Emperor Xia's will to appear. That was why Zhisheng Cliffs had not been able to conquer the Holy Zhi Palace.
Zhisheng Cliffs was built on a chain of cliffs. It was a place of pilgrimage for countless people in Yu State.
Zhisheng Cliffs was quiet at the moment. Behind one of the cliffs, a figure sat quietly cultivating. That person was Ge Feng, the leader of the Nine Warriors of Zhisheng Cliffs and a mighty one on the Sage and Saint Ranking. He had been cultivating in seclusion, trying to make himself stronger in preparation for the next Battle of Orthodoxy.
There were only a few years left before the next Battle of Saints. At that time, countless top-notch sages throughout the nine states would go crazy. Even though he was a mighty one on the Sage and Saint Ranking, he still felt great pressure.
In every Battle of the Divine Path, there were only a handful of people who could prove the Divine Path.
Furthermore, Zhisheng Cliffs was about to declare war on the Holy Zhi Palace. In this Sacred War, he could also use the people of the Barren State to temper his own powers. The battle outside the Holy Zhi Palace a few years ago had left him very unhappy.
A wind blew from the cliff. Ge Feng opened his eyes. There was brilliant lightning flashing in them. He felt his eyelids twitching. He could not calm down and felt a little uneasy.
He did not know where this feeling came from.
Ge Feng stopped cultivating and left the place in a flash. Cultivators were able to comprehend the Great Path of Heaven and Earth, and they were able to vaguely sense some things that they did not know. Even with his level of cultivation, he actually felt uneasy. Although he did not know why, he had a feeling that something might happen.
Soon, Ge Feng came to a hall and found another mighty one on the Sage and Saint Ranking, Nie Yan.
Zhisheng Cliffs had three mighty ones on the Sage Ranking: Kong Yao, Nie Yan, and Ge Feng. All three of them had participated in the battle outside the Holy Zhi Palace in the Barren State.
"Brother," Ge Feng called. Nie Yan looked at him and said, "Brother." Yan "said." Yan "Yan Yao Yan Yan.
"I don't know why, but I'm feeling a little uneasy. Master, you're heading to Xihua Sacred Mountain. Will you be alright?"
"I'm still a little uneasy. Why don't you go see Uncle-Master?" Ge Feng asked. The Flame Saint was Yan Yan's master.
"Master is cultivating. It's best not to disturb him. Even if something does happen, Yan Yan and Zhisheng Cliffs will be able to handle it," Yan Yan said.
Ge Feng nodded and looked into the distance. Perhaps he was thinking too much. He did not know what would happen.
…
At that moment, a group of people traveled in the air from the Barren State to Yu State.
The one in the lead was huge and dazzling like a god. He shone with the light of the Divine Path, shrouding all the mighty ones around him. He opened his acupoints and light shone from his feet. He crossed the space with one step. Even though his body was saintly, Douzhan's speed was still shocking.
Ye Futian ordered him to bring people to Zhisheng Cliffs in Yu State.
His meaning was clear. He had been waiting for this day for a long time.
Back then, Zhisheng Cliffs had pressured the Barren State and Crouching Dragon Mountain was in danger. Later, in the battle outside the Holy Zhi Palace, two Palace Lords of the Holy Zhi Palace had been killed. Although he did not agree with the ideals of the two Palace Lords, it was all for the sake of the Holy Zhi Palace. If Zhisheng Cliffs had not appeared, things would not have deteriorated to such a state.
This matter would finally come to an end.
The Black Wind Condor was also with them. With him there, he could relay Ye Futian's news and location at any time.
The Barren State was much closer to Yu State than the Eastern State, but even so, the Village Chief still arrived first and waited somewhere far away from Zhisheng Cliffs. Finally, Douzhan arrived with the mighty ones of the Holy Zhi Palace. There were not many of them, but they were all the top figures of the Holy Zhi Palace and those who could form battle matrixes.
The battle between the Holy Zhi Palace and the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty was not allowed to use battle matrixes, but this surprise attack was naturally not one of them.
"Master," Ye Futian called out when he saw Douzhan.
Douzhan looked at Ye Futian, then at the Sword Demon, Zhuge Qingfeng, You Chi, and the others. Cold murderous intent flashed in everyone's eyes.
They had thought that the battle with Zhisheng Cliffs would be a battle of orthodoxies, but they did not expect the day to come so early.
"Let's go," Ye Futian said. Suddenly, the group stepped out and headed in the direction of Zhisheng Cliffs.
Zhisheng Cliffs, as the number one holy land in Yu State, had dominated Yu State for many years and had been peaceful for too long. Other than when they had bullied the Barren State, they had not fought for too long, so they naturally did not feel too much danger.
As such, Zhisheng Cliffs had not set up any defenses at all.
At that moment, in a palace in Zhisheng Cliffs, a burly elder with a fiery aura suddenly opened his eyes. He was suddenly on guard and felt a strong sense of danger.
A formless aura spread out and his spiritual will spread out into the distance, shrouding the entire Zhisheng Cliffs. He saw what everyone was doing at that moment. His spiritual will continued to spread out of Zhisheng Cliffs. A terrifying aura spread out in the sky. His spiritual will immediately rushed in that direction and he sensed a mighty army descending.
In just an instant, the Flame Saint's eyes changed.
"Who is it?" The Flame Saint's spiritual will turned into a terrifying fire dragon and rushed out, imbued with the might of the divine path.
The Village Chief glanced at it and terrifying sword will turned into a shocking giant sword that slashed out, piercing right through and destroying the other's will. The fire dragon exploded and disappeared in an instant.
In the great hall of Zhisheng Cliffs, the Flame Saint's figure suddenly appeared outside the great hall. He looked up at the sky and said loudly, "Everyone in Zhisheng Cliffs, heed my command. Enemies are invading. Prepare for battle immediately."
The voice exploded in Zhisheng Cliffs, and the hearts of countless trembled violently. That was the voice of the Flame Saint.
Zhisheng Cliffs, which had been peaceful for many years, was invaded on that day.
What happened?
Countless auras burst in an instant and one figure after another took to the air, appearing in various parts of Zhisheng Cliffs. They looked up into the distance and felt a terrifying aura spreading in their direction.
Ge Feng appeared in the air as well and flashed in the direction of the Flame Saint. He looked troubled. His unease before was not because his master went to Xihua Sacred Mountain, but because of the danger in Zhisheng Cliffs.
Powerful spatial power came from the sky and a terrifying spatial storm descended. A group of figures descended from the sky and appeared in the sky above Zhisheng Cliffs.
The one on the left was an elder with Lingtian Sword Will around him. The one on the right was burly and stood there like a god.
The one in the middle was an extremely handsome young man. His clothes were white like snow and his eyes were cold as he looked down.
"The Holy Zhi Palace of the Barren State." The Flame Saint looked troubled. Two saints from the Barren State had come, but Saint Zhi was not there and he was the only one guarding Zhisheng Cliffs.
Moreover, Saint Zhi had brought Kong Yao and some other mighty ones from Zhisheng Cliffs.
"What is the meaning of this?" The Flame Saint's eyes seemed to contain flames. With his body as the center, the world around him became extremely hot.
"The people of Zhisheng Cliffs bullied the Barren State, attacking Crouching Dragon Mountain and Taihang Mountain. The Barren State suffered many casualties, and then they bullied the Holy Zhi Palace, killing two palace lords. Now that the Barren State has a saint, we naturally have to ask Zhisheng Cliffs for advice," Ye Futian said loudly. "I will act according to the rules of the Sacred War. Saints will fight saints, sages will fight sages, and nobles will not be killed. But if the Flame Saint breaks the rules, don't blame the Two Saints of the Holy Zhi Palace for razing Zhisheng Cliffs to the ground."
"The rules of the Sacred War?" The Flame Saint's expression was cold. "There has been no Sacred War between Zhisheng Cliffs and the Holy Zhi Palace. You dare to lead people to attack us? Aren't you afraid of Emperor Xia's wrath?"
He was unable to deal with the Two Saints of the Barren State, especially the Village Chief, who was able to fight against the Great Zhou Sacred King. As for him, he was ranked at the bottom of the Saint Ranking. How was he supposed to fight them?
"When Zhisheng Cliffs attacked the Holy Zhi Palace, did you report it to Emperor Xia? Emperor Xia already knows of the grudge between us and Zhisheng Cliffs. Naturally, he will not blame us. Furthermore, Saint Zhi, the Head Saint of Zhisheng Cliffs, declared a Sacred War against the Holy Zhi Palace not long ago. Emperor Xia will investigate this matter."
The people of Zhisheng Cliffs looked extremely grim. The Head Saint had personally declared a Sacred War against the Holy Zhi Palace?
But how could the Barren State mobilize their army so quickly?
"Kill," Ye Futian spat.
Ye Futian spat out a murderous voice. He did not feel too much hatred for the deaths of the two Palace Lords of the Holy Zhi Palace, but he would never forget what happened on Taihang Mountain.
On that day, the bodies of demon apes lay in pools of blood on Taihang Mountain, dyeing the mountains red. Yu Sheng and Jieyu were almost killed by Zhan Xiao. They were the two most important people in his life.
Even if it were not for the two of them, the blood debt of Taihang Mountain could only be paid with blood.
Today, blood would dye Zhisheng Cliffs red.
"Boom!" A deafening rumble was heard. Douzhan's burly body burst with dazzling saintly light as soon as Ye Futian said the word "kill". He was one with the Life Spirit of his battle form, and his body was dozens of meters tall. He descended from the sky like a god, trampling towards the Flame Saint.
The Flame Saint looked at the sky, and the flames instantly turned the place red, pouncing ferociously at Douzhan's body. However, the god-like figure showed no fear. He allowed the flames to burn his body, basking in the sacred flames as they descended.
Boundless flames streaked across the sky, turning into a fire sacred beast, the Qilin, devouring the world and pouncing towards Douzhan.
Douzhan's body continued descending, descending in an instant. The Seven Star acupoints were opened, and his body shone with dazzling holy light. His fists tore through the air, suppressing the world.
With a deafening rumble, Douzhan's body passed through the devouring Qilin. The terrifying attack caused Zhisheng Cliffs to tremble. Cracks appeared, and countless buildings were destroyed.
"Are you going to fight up there, or are you going to stay in Zhisheng Cliffs?" Douzhan's god-like body stepped on the place where the Flame Saint had been standing. The Flame Saint himself retreated far away, looking coldly at the raging Douzhan.
